Want a cheaper Galaxy S26? Samsung’s Certified Re-Newed lineup has you covered
Getting a flagship for less just got a bit easier.
Samsung has introduced a Certified Re-Newed lineup, which includes the Galaxy S26 Ultra, S26 Plus, and S26. Prices for these devices start at $759 for the S26, $929 for the S26 Plus, and $1,099 for the S26 Ultra. Each phone comes with a fresh battery, a one-year warranty, and the option to add Samsung Care Plus with Theft and Loss coverage.
The rise in smartphone prices, particularly for flagship models, has made purchasing a new phone in 2026 a more costly endeavor. There have been reports suggesting Samsung might raise the prices of the Galaxy S26 series. However, those seeking a more budget-friendly option for the flagship devices now have a solution. Samsung announced today that nearly the entire Galaxy S26 lineup is now part of its Certified Re-Newed program, providing customers with a more affordable way to acquire some of the top Android smartphones of 2026. The only Galaxy S26 model absent from the program is the recently released Galaxy S26 FE.
